Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Somme.

    October 18, 1916, Replenishment Battalion.

    Beginning in mid-October, the British and French allied forces suddenly stepped up their offensive. Countless artillery shells smashed into the German positions like crazy. A large number of enemies launched waves of attacks regardless of life and death.

    German casualties suddenly increased.

    Starting from the 16th, the supplementary battalion suffered countless attacks from the enemy.  The third company, which is sometimes placed at the forefront, is undoubtedly under tremendous pressure.

    Although the soldiers of the third company still firmly control the position in their own hands, they always feel a little uncomfortable, as if someone is missing.

    Ernst Brahm!

    The order from Ernst, the acting battalion commander, has been sent to the supplementary battalion, but the captain has not returned.  The soldiers always felt that they were missing some backbone.

    Another wave of attacks was barely repelled, but Sean¡¯s ammunition hand Aikein fell

    Sean¡¯s mood is sad. From the outbreak of the war to now, he has lost too many comrades.  To some extent, he was even numb to death.

    But this time it made him angry.

    Hall, who has been promoted to second lieutenant, became the acting commander of the third company.  His bravery and loyalty to Germany were beyond reproach, but he was too mechanical.

    The task he was given was to stick to this place, and he could complete it to the letter, but he refused to make any changes.

    During the British army's previous attack, there was a huge gap on the left wing. Bunkerere once suggested to Hall that he send a force to attack to reduce the pressure on the frontal defense line, but Hall refused without hesitation.  .

    "Our task is to hold on, not to attack!" This was Hall's only answer.

    So the third company had to passively hold on here

    If he could take the initiative to attack, maybe Aikein wouldn't have died; if he could be more flexible, maybe there wouldn't be so many casualties.

    ¡°If Captain Ernst was still commanding here, maybe we wouldn¡¯t have to fight so hard at all

    "It would be nice if Captain Ernst was here." Bunkerere sighed and lay down on the position: "We lost twelve more people today, Sean, you said the captain would allow such a large number of casualties here.  ?"

    "No." Sean answered without any hesitation: "The captain is brave and will never be so rigid. I doubt Hall's ability to command a company."

    "I miss Captain Ernst too." Stike said listlessly on the side: "Do you think Captain Ernst has forgotten us? Berlin is a good place."

    "Hey, don't say that about Captain." Sean looked very dissatisfied: "No one can doubt Captain."

    Steck sighed: "How could I doubt the captain? It's just that I really want him to come back and take command again" At this point, he lowered his voice a little: "The only thing the entire third company doesn't want is the captain.  Maybe the only one who came back was the Jew."

    Everyone knew that the Jew he was talking about was Hall.

    Is Hall bad?  He is not bad, on the contrary, he cares about the soldiers.  But the feeling he brought to the soldiers was always a little strange, completely different from the feeling Captain Ernst had when he was here.

    Veterans of the Third Company all know that after the previous company commander was injured and left the battlefield, Hall was the most promising candidate to be promoted and directly take over the Third Company, but he did not expect that a new company commander would be sent from above.

    From that moment on, Hall¡¯s feeling changed somewhat.

    He became unwilling to talk much and became slightly depressed.  Promotion is not everything, but it is recognition of a soldier's honor.

    "Everyone should be more energetic!" Hall's voice came over: "The British's new attack will start soon. Don't stand here stupidly, show some energy, damn, they are all being rubbed."

    The soldiers didn¡¯t seem to be very willing, and they got up from the ground one by one with their guns in hand

    Routine shelling quickly covered the position, and the German artillery was also fighting back desperately.  Amidst the huge gunfire, there were waves of terrifying air waves.

    The German soldiers hid silently in the trenches. They had long been accustomed to shelling and were completely indifferent.

    Some people closed their eyes and were thinking about something, and some people were praying silently.  God determines everyone's life and death, and God knows whether cannonballs will explode around him.

    "Hey, enter the position, enter the position!" Hall's words rang loudly in the ears of all the soldiers.The enemy has begun to attack!

    Bunkerei picked up the gun in his hand and stared straight ahead without blinking.  In several days of fighting, he had killed more than ten enemies, which was an impressive number except for heavy machine gun shooters.

    Bunkerere really couldn¡¯t figure out how Captain Ernst accomplished the miracle of killing hundreds of enemies!

    The British whistle began to soundand then dense enemies came up

    Bunkerelei adjusted his breathing, and his muzzle had already locked on an enemy

    The moment Sean's heavy machine gun fired, Bunkerrei also pulled the trigger.

    The sound of the gunfire was drowned in the roar of the heavy machine gun, but Bunkerere could see his target falling under the bullets

    "When humans invented thermal weapons, and when heavy machine guns, airplanes, and tanks came out one after another, it meant that every war would turn into the most brutal massacre.

    Thousands of people will die in the war, and the blood will gather into rivers, and then flood the battlefield full of corpses.

    There is no need for sympathy or pity here, all we want is endless killing

    There are so many enemies that even the roaring heavy machine guns cannot stop the enemies coming up layer by layer.

    People are constantly dying, either from the enemy or from one of our own people.  The sound of shouts, gunfire, and whistles mixed together, turning the battlefield into a terrifying hell.

    No one knows who will fall in the next minute

    Fierce battles are taking place on all battlefields. No one can help the third company. The only one who must rely on now is himself.

    The casualties are gradually increasing, and the British seem to be crazy in this attack.  It was pushed back one level, and then another level roared up.

    They seem to be relying on the human sea tactic to completely submerge this place.

    "Second Lieutenant, the left wing has been breached!"

    "Second Lieutenant, we can't hold on here any longer!"

    "Hey, no, Man Rui is injured, someone can help!"

    The voices kept coming and going, making Second Lieutenant Hall upset.

    Damn it, can the position really not be maintained anymore?

    It will be your own shame!

    What would Captain Ernst Brahm do if he were here?
